  Howdy folks, and welcome to the show.
• 0:02
  As I said last week, we are on spring break for two weeks.
• 0:06
  That means we're going to be putting up a prior episode.
• 0:10
  This particular episode is is phenomenal.
• 0:12
  We had the opportunity to sit down with Joseph May, Craig
• 0:17
  Peters and Brian Gehringer to talk to them about what
• 0:19
  ultimately became an $11 million civil rights judgement after
• 0:24
  they won a a tremendous verdict on behalf of three wrongly
• 0:29
  detained African Americans who were detained for 90 minutes and
• 0:33
  then released. The theme of their case was that
• 0:37
  no time is acceptable when people are being racially
• 0:39
  profiled and they set a record setting verdict that should send
• 0:44
  a message to law enforcement across the globe that this is
• 0:47
  not OK. The original episode got a lot
• 0:50
  of attention. Parking Wall Black was the title
• 0:53
  of the episode and it it is really insightful to hear how
• 0:57
  this team put this case together and how they used some of the
• 1:01
  missteps by the defense team to advantage the case.
• 1:04
  I hope you really enjoy it. If you enjoy Part 1, there is a
• 1:08
  Part 2 and and, and I highly recommend that one as well.
• 1:11
  So enjoy. Look forward to chatting with
• 1:14
  folks when we're back. Happy hunting.
